Maybe I misheard, didn't they just say they lose Wagner?

Oregon hits the century mark. Mostly subs have been playing against Minnesota's starters during the 4th quarter.

Yes, you're right. The roster on ESPN lists her as a junior, but she's a senior according to the team's site.

Kenisha Bell (a redshirt junior) was a revelation this year, averaging 20 ppg. She gave the Big Ten teams fits. Hubbard (sophomore) and Pitts (freshman) also averaged double figures.

101-73 final. It wasn't really that close. Minnesota starters padding their stats against Oregon's bench.

They may have gotten blown out today, but there's reason for optimism for Gopher fans. They graduate none of their significant players. Hubbard and Bell are sophomores, and Pitts is a freshman. They took a big leap this year, and watch out for them next year.

Minnesota was better than I thought they would be. They could use some tall, skilled, post players to round out their solid guard play.

Ionescu--22 pts. 8-11 shooting 7 assists 5 rebounds. At halftime. Sorry UConn fans, but I don't think anybody is playing better in the Tourney so far.

How do we know, UConn starters only played 1 game and little over 20 minutes each.

Here is some good insight from Dean.

Holly is Out...Dean hoping to be her replacement until Tennesse finds an entire new staff...IMO

Minnesota is a great team to play when you want to pump up your stats. Not exactly a defensive-minded team.

Only saw the 2nd half, but Minnesota's defense was non-existent. They would continually lose a player trying to switch.
